Every
year LSI throws a Halloween Party for hundreds of international students, and
it is always so much fun to see how creative the students can get with their
costumes.
This year, there were 4
categories for the costume contest: Most Creative, Funniest, Scariest, and Best
Couple/Group. The Best Couple Costume went to a male and female student who
dressed up as a kind of zombie couple in wedding outfits. They were both really
scary looking. I think they even freaked
out a couple of the judges when they did their walk in front of the judging
panel. It was a lot of fun!
During the party, students had many chances to win
prizes like one-of-a-kind LSI Halloween t-shirts and gift cards. We also had a special performance from a
Japanese student representing the LSI-Los Angeles campus. He did a dance
impersonation of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” The audience cheered and clapped
in response to this student’s cool performance.
Of course, we all enjoyed the all-you-can-eat buffet of delicious
Japanese food. After dinner, the performance, and the costume contest, it was
time to dance the night away as the DJ played hits for LSI students gathered on
the dance floor. For our international students, Halloween is always a special
opportunity to experience one of the most interesting holidays in American
culture.
